34. 1. Epigenetic age is a biomarker associated with age-related disease and all-cause
mortality.
2. Also referred to as “epigenetic clocks”, the epigenetic age is measured by a
composite of cellular DNA methylation (DNAm) levels.
3. Epigenetic age is considered most accurate way of assessing whether individuals are
aging faster or slower than their chronological age. (You don’t want to “age faster.”)
4. Slower (younger) epigenetic age (what you want) occurs among long-lived
individuals.
5. Older (worsening) epigenetic age is associated with lower levels of physical
functioning and declines in cognitive functioning among long-lived individuals.

53. DNA methylation testing measures epigenetic age and is considered
the most accurate method of assessing future morbidity/mortality risk.
Young Plasma Reverses Epigenetic Age
Improved insulin sensitivity, better immune
& metabolic health, reduced inflammation!
Epigenetic age stayed consistently lower in young
plasma group until natural death with indications of:
DNA methylation age of young plasma-treated
rats beneficially fell below the control group
54. The longest-lived animal in control (no treatment) group.
That’s where gene therapy
can come to the rescue!
Indicates young plasma can
delay median death age but
may not confer super longevity
One interesting caveat…
55. Reprogram old cells into
induced pluripotent stem
cells or young adult cells
that can theoretically
regenerate tissues forever.
Yamanaka Transcription Factors –
56. There are about 1500 gene regulatory transcription factors
Transcription factors can
reprogram old cells into
stem cells or young cells
that regenerate tissues.
Transcription factors are proteins that help turn
specific genes "on" or "off" by binding to DNA.
57. The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2012
These transcription factors are called:
“Yamanaka Factors”
Four specific genes encode transcription
factors that can convert somatic cells
into pluripotent stem cells that can
propagate indefinitely.

The Treatment Made The
Mice’s Cells Look Younger
69. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38381405/
February 26th, 2024
Cyclic induction of OSK expression
in 2-year-old wild type mice led to:
109% increase in median remaining lifespan
Improved health relative to control mice
Profound age reversal in heart and liver
tissues assessed by DNA methylation clocks
Epigenetic age reversal in human cells that make
up 90% of outmost skin layers
70. Improved Frailty Index Scores
Aging increases susceptibility to adverse health
outcomes that can be measured using a frailty index.
This suggests that increased lifespan in
response to OSK induction therapy
correlated with overall better health.
OSK treated mice had significant reduction
in frailty index from 7.5 points in control
mice to 6.0 points for OSK-treated mice.
High frailty compound scores reflect increase
susceptibility to poor health outcomes.
71. Epigenetic Age Reversal of Human Skin Cells
Exogenous induced overexpression
of OSK in these keratinocytes led to
significant epigenetic age reversal.
Keratinocytes make up 90% of
outer most skin layers.
Keratinocytes isolated from scalp
of 65-year-old male patient to
assess effects of OSK.
72. Two-part AAV system employed for
systemic intracellular OSK delivery.
Remarkable 109% Extension in Median
Remaining Life in Response to OSK Expression
Control mice had 8.86 weeks of life remaining
vs. 18.5 weeks in OSK-treated group
Partial OSK reprogramming increased lifespan
and improved frailty scores in old mice.
Old mice equivalent to 77-year-old people
used to enhance human translatability.
73. Minimal OSK Induction = Robust Age Reversal
The 109% extension of remaining lifespan + improved
frailty index + epigenetic DNA modifications occurred…
with a fraction of the OSK dose delivered to cells.
“Remarkably, using 1/10th of the
AAV at 1.7e11 vg/mouse, we
observed robust OSK expression in
the liver, heart, and spleen of both
8-week-old and 82-week-old mice”
74. Control mice having a remaining lifespan of
8.86 weeks equating to approximately
5.09 human years.
OSK-treated mice having a remaining 18.5 weeks
equating to approximately 10.64 human years.
OSK-treated mice lived longer in better health.
OSK-treated old mice with 18.5 weeks of life remaining would equate to
10.64 remaining human years in mouse-to-human aging approximation:

Abstract
Thymosin α-1 (Tα-1) is an immunomodulating polypeptide of 28 amino acids, which was
the first peptide isolated from thymic tissue and has been widely used for the treatment
of viral infections, immunodeficiencies, and especially malignancies. Tα-1 stimulates
both innate and adaptive immune responses, and its regulation of innate immune cells
and adaptive immune cells varies under different disease conditions. Pleiotropic
regulation of immune cells by Tα-1 depends on activation of Toll-like receptors and its
downstream signaling pathways in various immune microenvironments. For treatment
of malignancies, the combination of Tα-1 and chemotherapy has a strong synergistic
effect by enhancing the anti-tumor immune response. On the basis of the pleiotropic
effect of Tα-1 on immune cells and the promising results of preclinical studies, Tα-1
may be a favorable immunomodulator to enhance the curative effect and decrease
immune-related adverse events of immune checkpoint inhibitors to develop novel
cancer therapies.

Abstract
The immunologic effects of chemotherapy-induced tumor cell death are not completely
understood. Accumulating evidence suggests that phagocytic clearance of apoptotic
tumor cells, also known as efferocytosis, is an immunologically silent process, thus
maintaining an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). Here we report
that, in the breast tumor microenvironment, thymosin α-1 (Tα-1) significantly reverses
M2 polarization of IL10-producing tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) during
efferocytosis induced by apoptotic cells. Mechanistically, Tα-1, which bound to
phosphatidylserine on the surface of apoptotic tumor cells and was internalized by
macrophages, triggered the activation of SH2-containing inositol 5'-phosphatase 1
(SHIP1) through the lysosomal Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7)/MyD88 pathway, subsequently
resulting in dephosphorylation of efferocytosis-activated TBK1 and reduction of
efferocytosis-induced IL10. Tα-1 combined with epirubicin chemotherapy markedly
suppressed tumor growth in an in vivo breast cancer model by reducing macrophage-
derived IL10 and enhancing the number and function of tumor-infiltrating CD4+ and
CD8+ T cells. In conclusion, Tα-1 improved the curative effect of chemotherapy by
reversing M2 polarization of efferocytosis-activated macrophages, suggesting that
Tα-1 injection immediately after chemotherapy may contribute to highly
synergistic antitumor effects in patients with breast cancer.

Commonwealth of The Bahamas can be authorized to prescribe and administer experimental medications and medical interventions to patients under their care,
subject to the following conditions as indicated.
i. Professional Judgment
a.The prescribing physician must, in their professional judgment, determine that the proposed therapy has a reasonable potential, balancing potential risks
and benefits, in favor of the individual patient, which may include, but is not limited to, therapies aimed at improving age-related clinical outcomes, promoting
health and/ or longevity in aging patients, enhancing regeneration of cellular or biological processes to a more youthful state, or delaying or reversing
biological aging processes.
ii. Ethical Considerations
a.Physicians prescribing experimental therapies must ensure that their decisions are made in accordance with established medical ethics and best
practices, carefully considering the potential risks, benefits, and alternatives to the proposed therapy, and informed consent must be obtained from the
patient or their legal representative, detailing the experimental nature of the therapy and any known risks.
iii. Patient Safety and Clinical Oversight
a.Experimental therapies prescribed under this section shall be subject to oversight by the Ministry of Health and/ or an appointed Patient Safety Committee,
and licensed physicians must comply with reporting requirements, safety protocols, and follow-up evaluations as established by the overseeing entity.
b.To foster the safe and effective use of experimental therapies, physicians are required to report outcomes, adverse events, and any other significant
clinical findings to the Ministry of Health or an appointed Safety Committee, such that this data will be used to assess the safety and effectiveness of the
experimental therapies and to inform future clinical decisions.
c.The Ministry of Health and/ or Patient Safety Committee has the authority to recommend termination of the use of the experimental treatment or
intervention at any time if safety and effectiveness data suggests that such treatment or intervention generates an adverse risk/ benefit assessment for
patients.
iv. Patient Rights and Protections
a.Patients receiving experimental therapies under this section shall have the right to discontinue treatment at any time and to seek a second opinion from
another licensed medical professional.
b.The prescribing physician must respect the autonomy and wishes of the patient, ensuring that their decisions are made in a transparent and supportive
manner.
v. Failure of Compliance
a.Failure to comply with the provisions of this section may result in disciplinary action, fines, or any other penalties as deemed appropriate by the Ministry of
Health or the Patient Safety Committee.
